It isn't in the dhcpd man because dhcpd DOES NOT USE THAT FILE!

It's the boot scripts (/etc/init.d/dhpcd) that use it.
This is common to every Unix/Linux with SYSV-R4 like
boot sequence:
        * Individual boot scripts with start/stop arguments:
                /etc/init.d (in RedHat, Solaris, Irix)
                /sbin/init.d (in HPUX)
        * Sequencing directories for run-levels and order:
                /etc/rc[S0-6].d (in RedHat, Solaris, Irix)
                /sbin/rc[S0-6].d (in HPUX)
        * Config files affecting the boot scripts:
                /etc/sysconfig (RedHat)
                /etc/config (Irix, Solaris? [forgot])
                /etc/rc.config.d/* (HPUX)

Now, since all this SYSV design does not have a manual page....
Maybe we should have a man boot-scripts(8), pointed to by intro(8)..

Any volunteers?
